Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

GMX 2012 Recap
GMX was a lot of fun this year! We took Kevin, who wore his Harry Potter and Doctor Who costumes, and I took Wasp, Ms Marvel, Donna Noble, Marie Antoinette, and Anne Boleyn. We mostly hung out, shopped, Kevin played video games and Chase took photos. It was a nice lowkey weekend 🙂 Here’s some of my fav pics. Kevin’s…

a few more MidSouthCon 2011 pics
Here’s some pics I found from friends from this past weekend. (pic by Glenn) my hair looked great friday. too bad it didn’t stay that way. I was really surprised by how many people knew who I was supposed to be – better than at Anaheim or Dragoncon, even. (At dcon people kept asking if I was a steampunk person.)…

MTAC 2010, Trooping, Photoshoots… etc!
(This post may seem a little repetitive – this was ported over from my livejournal and recapped a lot of stuff I’d recently posted on my blog. Now that my LJ posts are part of my blog, it’s very redundant!) A recap of recent costume-y stuff… MTAC came and went and we got stranded there an extra day because of…

Photoshoot: Anne Boleyn, Wonder Woman, etc
I’m a pic posting machine! That’s the last of them, though. Four sets of photos is a lot to upload when the uploader on flickr doesn’t work right for me! I’ve still got Huntsville pics and our cruise pics to upload soon. I’m not going to rush, though – I’ve got a lot of sewing to do. Which brings me…

Snow White + Graveyard Party pics
I ran out of time because I ended up having to be at my aunt’s house an hour earlier for Trunk or Treat than I expected… I didn’t get a chance to make attach my bows or put the snaps on the upper part of the cape to keep it in place… but all nitpicky, I’m really happy with it.…

Dragoncon 2009 Recap
I figured I’d better go ahead and make a decent post about the weekend before I start to forget LOL Thursday morning we managed to get out of town on time, even after going to Starbucks! Yay. Check-in at the hotel was crowded, it gets more crowded every year, more people tend to come in early these days, I guess.…

my 6th costume
here’s your hint as to what my “secret” costume for dragoncon is: (PS – after I revealed what this costume was, I went back and edited all my previous posts so they make sense!)

3 days left… costume updates
I can’t believe Dragoncon is upon us, and I can’t believe how little I’ve posted this past month. I guess it’s just been everything going on and the slight weirdness of not being in my own place while working. (On that note, though, it looks like we’re closing on the house the day after we get back from Dragoncon. Kinda…

dragoncon updates!!
Well I haven’t done much better about posting, have I? I finally took some progress pics so I actually have something to post today. Rogue (age of apocalypse version) is at about 75% done. From the top down… I’ve still got to trim the wig a little. I’m really happy with what I bought for it – the white part…

Flail! Anne almost done
It’s almost done!!! Just need to finish my beads and attach them, and make my necklace:

Green fabric everywhere
I have a lot of green projects this year. Besides the obvious one, Marvel Girl and Poison Ivy are also causing a lot of green mess around my sewing room. I got the frontpiece finished up and attached last night. Oh I am so happy with it. All that’s left now is trim and accessories…

More Anne Boleyn updates
I got my hood in. I’ve since taken it apart and re-covered it in my own fabric, but here it was originally as modeled by my grand-dad ! I came out this morning to find a little drawing Chase had done of my dress and a note pinned to my dressform 😀 The bodice is now attached to the skirt…

Joy… Anne Boleyn progress
Getting up in the morning and walking out to your project… and feeling totally happy with it. What a great feeling 😀

Anne Boleyn updates
Sorry I haven’t been posting much! We’ve moved and are kinda homeless at the moment LOL ( staying with family) – still waiting to hear about the house we made an offer on. And my computers power cord died! We’ve bought 2 over the past few weeks once I realized it was going to die, but neither fit.. And now…

Anne Boleyn & other updates
Got the bodice put together on the big green thing, it was giving me fits last night, about to drive me crazy. I think I’ve got enough leaves from the last poison ivy leftover to do the next. It doesn’t need as many leaves. I’ve got the bodysuit to dye, I think I’m going to have to go buy a…

Ahhh… Anne Boleyn corset and skirt
Last time I posted a pic I was house sitting… then it and my sewing machine went to ANOTHER house to house sit (where I made use of a very large dining room table for cutting more fabric!), and now it’s back to our house 🙂 But here it is! Finally ironed, newly pleated and with a nearly finished corset:…

Dragoncon costume updates
Everything i’m doing for Dragoncon is still so up in the air. We’re trying to buy a house soon – like, very soon, by the end of July soon LOL I’ve been working as much as I can, but it’s been difficult, we’ve been stuck house-sitting for almost 3 weeks, which has been a pain considering we need to be…
